The Global Dental Diagnostic and Surgical Equipment market is expected
to grow at a CAGR of 5.12 percent over the period 2013-2018.

One of the main drivers of this market is the increasing elderly
population and the associated dental problems such as root caries,
periodontal disease, missing teeth, edentulism, poor quality of alveolar
ridges, various types of oral cancers, and caries. An increase in the
edentulous population is also increasing demand for dental imaging and
surgeries.

An emerging trend that is expected to positively impact the Global
Dental Diagnostic and Surgical Equipment market is the adoption of 3D
cone-beam dental imaging in general dentistry, coupled with innovative
implant procedures, oral surgery, temporo-mandibular joint analysis, and
periodontal and orthodontic procedures

Further, the report states that the market is experiencing challenges
such as a lack of awareness of the risk of oral cancer, especially in
developing countries such as Singapore, China, Brazil, and India.
